"Edge enhancement drives me crazy. Macroblocking (granted, a problem
of the Faroudja upconverting chip) is at least mildly irritaitng.
Chroma Errors (on my Sony) are
painful. Artifacts abound (with the setup properly calibrated, they
are somewhat minimized, but still noticeable). "

Hmmm... it sounds like you know what you're doing, but the #1 cause of
edge enhancement problems is actually having the sharpness set too
high.

"Sharpness: This adds artificial edges to objects, which sometimes
helps with soft cable signals but almost always mars the already sharp
image from a DVD. Reduce it to zero unless you detect visible softening
along the edges of text; if you do, increase it until the edges appear
sharp again. "
